At the core of The Institute for Middle East Peace’s work are mediation, negotiation and dialogue—each a means of moving parties in conflict toward a mutually acceptable outcome. Dialogues in areas affected by conflict are ways of bridging divides and bringing communities together to heal divisions. Negotiation is a fundamental skill that is at the heart of most of IMEP’s conflict resolution training. The Institute provides education and training on mediation, negotiation, and dialogue for a range of stakeholders including civil society organizations, youth and others key actors in conflict settings.
